Caitlin sat silently in the middle of the thick forest. But inside was a torrent of emotions: Hurt, sadness, anger... Simon had been so great. They had a wonderful night at the dance. Then her dad died and he had comforted her the night before she left for home. But then, he was just gone. She didn't even know if he still attended Starlight Academy. A few tears fell down her face. "Oh why did you have to be so perfect, and then just leave!" she said aloud before a few more tears came out. Don't cry... You'll be ok. You've been through worse than this... she told herself silently.
